Very relaxed environment to enjoy dinner. Came for restaurant week with a 3 month old and was happy they accommodated a corner spot for stroller to let our little one snooze while we enjoyed dinner. Our waiter was very helpful in guiding some popular dishes. We enjoyed the bread service a lot and would get again. I liked the shrimp and melon starter—exceptional combination of sweet and savory. The short rib pasta was just ok for me but loved the butter cake. Wife had the pork chop which I would definitely get next time. Donuts were a little heavy for me personally but they tasted good. We took advantage of the 30% off all day Monday happy hour and got a bottle of their GSM. We would definitely come back and I thought it was a good value for restaurant week.

Our second time here. They recently renovated and the space is looking so cute! We went in for their happy hour on a Wednesday and were so pleased with our drinks and dishes. We ordered the pretzel (so soft and delicious), the white bean hummus with pita chips, and their cauliflower bites. We were both satisfied after our meal and were pleasantly surprised by our bill. Regardless of the happy hour, this place is worth a visit for the food. With a cozy atmosphere and friendly service, it won’t disappoint!

First time, staff is delightful, extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Kisses to the chef. The menu is extensive, and I was told it rotates. Everything we tried was superb. If there would be any downside at all, it would be limited parking, but there was plenty of parking when I arrived. Great job, Roost staff!

This is the local "hidden" gem in Houston. Definitely get the cauliflower appetizer and I always get the pickled vegetables of the day. Very cool eclectic menu has some Creole, South Asian and Middle Eastern influences and sometimes a little latin touch. Decent wine list and grab a local beer on tap. The atmosphere is very unpretentious..almost feels like your in your grandma's basement setting, but I am totally OK with it. One of my top go to restaurants in Houston.

Absolutely loved this place! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and the staff made us feel right at home. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care — every bite was amazing. You can really tell how much passion goes into what they do here. If you’re looking for great food, great service, and a place you’ll want to come back to again and again, this is it. Highly recommend!

My partner and I came here to celebrate a birthday. The atmosphere is cozy and the service was pretty okay. We tried several dishes: fried cauliflower, pickled vegetables, oysters Rockefeller, Brussels sprouts, shrimp and grits, duck two ways, and donuts and coffee. The shrimp and grits, Brussels sprouts, and oysters were phenomenal, and everything else was good too. Although this restaurant isn’t at the top of my list, I do plan to return!

I made reservations for a party of 7 and our table was ready for us when we arrived. We had the bread for an appetizer based on other reviews and it did not disappoint. The butters were very good. Some family members had the chicken and loved it. Some had the fish and liked it as well. I had the ribs which were excellent. Flavorful and meaty. I also had the Thai curry shrimp grits. The grits were so creamy. The curry was well done. I had the pear and ice cream dessert and it was great. The pears were a little tougher than I wanted but would still order again. The whipped cream was very good too. The service started off choppy with it taking a while for us to put in our drink orders and food orders and needing refills for a while but it eventually got much better.

Came here for a birthday date. We wanted something not so crowded, more intimate and this place was perfect! The food was amazing, we really enjoyed the octopus & the fried cauliflower. The bread service was so unexpectedly delicious, I mean bread is great but this bread with the different butters and cheese was so flavorful! Sadly we didn't get dessert because they were about to close & we felt bad asking for some so late but the coffee and donuts were really tasty according to our table neighbors. Next time, we'll make sure we try it!
